The Cobra Dual Chain Scanner is a highly versatile and robust motorized scanner designed for the efficient and accurate ultrasonic testing (UT) of circumferential welds on pipes. This scanner is engineered to accommodate a wide range of pipe outside diameters (OD), from 0.8 inches (20 mm) to 4.5 inches (114.3 mm), making it suitable for diverse industrial applications.  

Key Features and Benefits:

• Dual Chain Mechanism:

  • The scanner utilizes a dual-chain drive system, providing exceptional stability and precise probe positioning during scans. This ensures consistent coupling and accurate data acquisition, even on smaller diameter pipes where stability is critical.

• Wide Pipe OD Compatibility:

  • With an adjustable design, the Cobra scanner can effectively inspect pipes ranging from very small to mid-sized diameters, significantly enhancing its versatility in field and workshop environments.

• High-Precision Encoder:

  • Equipped with a high-resolution encoder offering 100 steps per millimeter, the scanner delivers precise positional data, enabling accurate flaw detection and sizing.

• Compact and Rugged Design:

  • Featuring a low-profile design with dimensions of 55 mm in width and 12 mm in height, the Cobra scanner is designed for use in confined spaces. Its robust construction and IP65 rating provide excellent protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions.

• Wide Operating Temperature Range:

  • The scanner is designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C, making it suitable for various climatic conditions.

• Long Cable Length:

  • A 3.0-meter cable provides ample reach, offering increased flexibility in scanner positioning and control unit placement.

• Durable Connector:

  • The Lemo 16-pin connector ensures a secure and reliable connection, minimizing signal loss and enhancing data integrity.

• Doppler Capabilities:

  • The scanner is designed to be used in applications where Doppler effect measurements are required. This allows for the measurement of the velocity of the material being inspected.

Applications:

• Circumferential weld inspection on pipelines, process piping, and other cylindrical structures.  

• Quality assurance and quality control in pipeline construction, fabrication, and maintenance.

• Non-destructive testing (NDT) in the oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and manufacturing industries.
